Benefits of Using Lavender Oil in Your Spiritual Practice
finding greater meaning and purpose with lavender
This fragrant oil, extracted from the lavender plant, is well known for its calming and relaxing properties, so it is commonly used to help reduce stress and anxiety, and improve sleep. But the spiritual benefits of lavender essential oil go beyond just relaxation. Lavender essential oil is a popular choice for those seeking to improve their spiritual well-being and find inner peace. Here, we'll explore some of the ways in which this essential oil can enhance your spiritual journey and help you find greater meaning and purpose in life.
relaxing and calming
One of the primary spiritual benefits of lavender essential oil is its ability to calm and relax the mind and body. When we are under stress or experiencing anxiety, it can be difficult to quiet the mind and enter into a state of meditation or spiritual contemplation. Meditation is a powerful tool for reducing stress and anxiety, promoting inner peace and increasing mindfulness. When used in meditation, lavender essential oil can help to enhance the overall experience and deepen the connection with one's inner self.
Simply add a few drops of oil to a diffuser, place a drop on your wrist, or on your yoga mat and inhale deeply. The calming aroma of lavender will help to slow down your breathing, quiet your mind and promote relaxation. Along with deep breathing, Lavender soothes the nervous system to create a sense of inner peace and calm.
chakra balancing with lavender
In addition to meditation, lavender essential oil can also be used for chakra balancing. The chakras are the seven energy centers located in the body and are responsible for regulating physical, emotional and spiritual well-being. When the chakras become blocked, it can lead to physical and emotional imbalances.
Lavender essential oil is associated with the crown and the third eye chakras. The crown chakra governs the upper brain and spiritual connection. By incorporating lavender oil into your chakra balancing routine, you can help to unblock and balance this energy center. To use lavender oil for chakra balancing, simply add a few drops to a diffuser or massage a drop onto your crown chakra (the top of your head). The calming and soothing aroma of lavender will help to promote spiritual awareness and deepen your connection with the universe.
Lavender essential oil can also be used to balance the third eye chakra. Intuition is located in third eye chakra, the source of our intuition, vision, and imagination. The calming aroma of the oil can help to quiet the mind and allow for greater clarity and focus, making it easier to tap into your creative potential and listen to your inner guidance. This can be helpful for those seeking to enhance their spiritual practices or for those who are looking to make important life decisions.
